However, after careful consideration, Hu Weidong felt that perhaps leaving a small part would not be killed, and the deterrent effect on the Japanese army would be stronger, such as the most famous massacres in history, in fact, a small part was left back, and many people killed more people because they did not leave a living mouth, and the impact on later generations was much smaller. Moreover, there are many jishu talents urgently needed in the base areas among the Japanese army's jishu arms and non-combatants, and it is indeed far more cost-effective to stay in labor reform to atone for their crimes than to kill them all.

Hu Weidong, who strongly advocated the total annihilation of the 6th Division, was shaken, and the other leaders of the North China General Front Committee, who were more affected by the preferential treatment of prisoners, were more inclined to accept the surrender of the Japanese army, but Hu Lian's worries in the telegram were not necessarily impossible, so the North China General Front Committee Zuihou called back the 94th Division and agreed with their handling opinions

So Hu Lian asked the Japanese representatives to go back and tell Shiraishi Tomohisa that the 94th Division could accept their surrender, but the remnants of the 6th Division had to send a telegram in clear code to announce the matter to the whole of China and even the whole of the East, including Japan.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, this can't be done! They're trying to kill our family! The captain of an artillery unit immediately jumped out to oppose it, but he was directly killed by Shiraishi Tomohisa with one shot, and the rest of the people suddenly didn't dare to jump out to oppose it again.

At this time, Shiraishi Tomohisa sighed again and said, "Everyone, please rest assured, except for our division commander (Note 1), only my name Shiraishi Tomohisa will be signed on the call, and as you know, my family is long gone."

"I can't thank you enough!" , those officers who had families and stayed in the country bowed to Shiraishi Tomohisa one after another.

But at this time, Shiraishi Tomohisa changed his tone again, "But this may not satisfy the Chinese." Moreover, instead of being tried and executed by the Chinese, it is better to fulfill the name of a samurai, and all officers and soldiers who have killed civilians and prisoners of war in China and raped women should cut their stomachs on their own! ”

Naturally, some of those thugs resisted, but Shiraishi Tomohisa finally suppressed them, thanks to the fact that Shiraishi Tomohisa had been strict with the military discipline of his own troops. There are not many people with blood debts, otherwise with his order, his old department will be in chaos first. Then all his plans will be in vain. In fact, although the 6th Division is paid a low salary, it is also a permanent division after all. As long as the officers are honest and can work hard to obtain provisions, the officers and men at the grassroots level do not necessarily have to loot. Despite this, by the time they left the city to surrender, there were only six or seven thousand Japanese troops left in the city, which had tens of thousands of people

Shiraishi Tomohisa is also a meritorious person, and as the first middle-level officer of the devil to surrender to China, he is a very haode typical, plus the troops led by this guy are indeed an outlier of the 6th Division, and the evil deeds are even less than some squadrons with poor military discipline, so after the war, he was very valued by the top level of the Red Party, and was not only received many times. I also got the opportunity to study at the University of Resistance and Resistance.

In addition to this batch of 6,000 or 7,000 prisoners of war, the 15 th Army has captured a considerable number of Japanese officers and men, and as a result of the Red Party's strong political and ideological work, more and more former Japanese officers and men have realized the evil of militarist ideology, and some of them have naturally been sent to urgently needed posts. And the rest of them, some of them went to do anti-war propaganda work, and the other part went directly armed to fight against Japan. Originally, these Japanese officers and men of the 15 th Army were scattered as grenadiers, but now their number has reached more than 5,000 people, of whom at least 3,000 can be fully trusted, and they can completely form an independent army. This dealt an even heavier blow to the morale of the Japanese army

For this reason, Hu Weidong also asked Lao Chiang for the number of "Japanese Column Directly Subordinate to the Headquarters of the 15th Army," referred to as "Japanese Column," and appointed Matsumoto Shingo, who has made many military exploits, as the commander of the column, and Zhongxi Gong, who had just finished studying at Kang Da, as the political commissar (number one) of the column. It is worth mentioning that, unlike the main force of the 15 th Army, which has very high requirements for military ability, in the "Japanese Column," it is completely "political override," and any order of the military commander must be approved by the political commissar before it can take effect. It is no wonder that the military command of the "Japanese column" was affected, at most more people died, anyway, it was not Chinese, Hu Weidong was not distressed, and if the political and ideological work was not in place, the consequences would be serious, which was fundamentally different from the squadron...,

The news of the surrender of the elite 6th Division of the Japanese Army to a division of the 15 th Chinese Army quickly spread throughout China, and the General Front Committee of North China even issued a battle report on the total annihilation of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army at the same time, which produced an even greater sensation.

"Extra! Extra! The 6th Division of the Japanese invaders surrendered to our 15th Army! One Chinese division annihilated one Japanese division! ”

"Extra! Extra! Talking and laughing, the captives were wiped out, and it only took one day for our Chinese Iron Army to completely annihilate the Japanese permanent division! ”

After reading these enthusiastic reports, the Chinese people in both the Kuomintang and the base areas were deeply encouraged, and the propaganda organs under the Nationalist Government and the Red Party also seized this opportunity to spare no effort to carry out propaganda from their own angles, which greatly boosted the confidence of the people of the whole country in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Nanjing's old Jiang looked at the battle report and smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, since the outbreak of the "Lugou Bridge Incident", he was overwhelmed by the sharp offensives of the Japanese army wave after wave, and he couldn't imagine that in this case, the little guy who he hated so much at the beginning gave himself a surprise again. Such a major victory in the North China Battlefield not only directly reversed the passive situation of the War of Resistance in North China and supported Xinkou, which was still fighting hard, but also made the Japanese army not only dare not transfer troops from North China to the Songhu battlefield, but may be forced to draw blood from the Songhu battlefield, which is really too helpful for the Songhu Battle in which Lao Jiang smashed almost half of the essence into it

"General Ye (Zhou Gong was negotiating in the Soviet Union at this time) said that the 15th Army and the 18th Group Army were ready to launch a larger offensive, and requested that the four flying squadrons in the Xinkou battlefield be temporarily transferred to the unified command of the 15th Army Flying Regiment for a period of 3 months." , Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant room, said cautiously.

The aviation force is Lao Jiang's heart, but now he is in a big mood, and Lao Jiang just waved his hand when he heard this, "Yes." ”

Note 1: This is Shiraishi Tomohisa taking revenge on Tanishi, and as a result, because he fraudulently used Tanishi's name to telegraph and surrender, all of Tanishi's family members were persecuted to death by the Japanese military department, and even some of his friends and distant relatives were affected (to be continued).
